Cucchi said Monday morning that police received a 911 call from 59-year-old Susan Hoskins at 607 Knollwood Drive, who said she had just shot her husband.

Police were on scene within minutes and found Susan Hoskins standing on the front porch.

"She was cooperative and taken into custody," Cucchi reported. "Officers asked for medical personnel, who were staged in the immediate area, to enter to begin treating the victim. The victim died of his injuries at the scene."

Hoskins was transported to the Woodland Police Department where she was interviewed by detectives before being taken to the Yolo County Jail where she was booked on suspicion of murder, related to domestic violence.

Knollwood Drive serves only residents of a series of townhouses known as Knollwood. It is located south of West Southwood Drive and west of Cottonwood Street, immediately south of Whitehead Elementary School. The 600 unit is located toward the northeast corner of the facility off a small cul de sac.

Cucchi indicated there did not appear to be any threat to anyone else living nearby.

Hoskins did not appear to be armed when police found her at her home.

The apartment and cul de sac were sealed off until early Monday morning while investigators completed their work. A body was removed from the scene shortly after 7 a.m. Monday, and authorities broke down the barriers around 7:15 a.m.

Cucchi reported the reason for the shooting is still being investigated. He would not name the type of weapon used.

"We're still trying to figure this all out," Cucchi said Monday.

It was the city's third murder for 2014. On April 27, Margarita Lopez of Woodland died from a single, penetrating gunshot wound to her head on Riverside Drive. She was shot by Jose Pedro Hernandez, 47, who then turned the gun on himself. Additionally, on March 18, there was a fatal stabbing on Elm Street of Scott Michael Zumbrum, 33, allegedly by Julio Gayton, 26, who is now undergoing a trial.
